Summary
KDDI Europe
enterprise legacy
KDDI-EUROPE is the network of KDDI Europe Ltd, the London-based EMEA arm of the Japanese telecommunications operator KDDI.
What it's used for
- ICT services for corporate customers across Europe, the Middle East and the CIS: managed network, cloud, data-centre, security, and systems-integration work, much of it for Japanese multinationals with European operations.
- The announced space numbers KDDI Europe's own service infrastructure. Reverse DNS on it resolves under
kew.net, the domain used by the European entity (also visible in its registry contact handle,KEW NAMEADMIN).
Notable
- This is a regional subsidiary's enterprise-services network, not KDDI's Japanese carrier backbone. Do not read the parent group's scale into this ASN: it announces roughly 10k IPv4 addresses.
- The older of its two allocations,
195.14.64.0/19, carries the netnameUK-KDD, preserving the name of KDD Corporation, Japan's former state international-telecoms monopoly, which merged into KDDI in 2000.
Interesting
- KDDI's sister company Telehouse operates the London data centre that has hosted the London Internet Exchange since its early days, so the group's European footprint sits close to the centre of UK interconnection even though this ASN itself is a modest enterprise network.

Reputation
Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
